THE PLT STATED THAT HE WAS IN THE VICINITY OF MELBOURNE FL WHEN THE RIGHT ENGINE FAILED. HE SECURED THE RIGHT ENGINE AND TURNED BACK TOWARDS NEW SMYRNA BEACH, BUT AS HE WAS NEARING TICO AIRPORT THE LEFT ENGINE ALSO FAILED. THE PILOT, REALIZING HE WAS NOT GOING TO MAKE THE AIRPORT, ELECTED TO LAND IN A POND NEXT TO I-95 NEAR TITUSVILLE, FL. POST CRASH EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINES REVEALED THAT BOTH ENGINES FAILED INTERNALLY IN THE REAR BANK AREA. NO EXACT DETERMINATION OF THE ORIGIN OF THE FAILURES COULD BE MADE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE DONE DURING THE FAILURE SEQUENCE.
